No it's even better than that one; you need the famous 13H6705 "clickety clack" kbd. One is on ebay
<http://cgi.ebay.com/IBM-13H6705-TrackPoint-PS-2-keyboard-mouse-M13-Combo-/330492476733?pt=PCA_Mice_ Trackballs&hash=item4cf2e2fd3d#ht_1226wt_1140> I bought three of them some years back at the MIT Amateur Radio Society monthly swapmeet, $35 per pc. (Being 67 all my purchases are now end-of-life buys.) If you keep looking you may be able to find for less. For me as a touch typist I can go like a flash on this kbd, so the investment pays off in time and money. My wife also knows I'm working because she can hear me (unlike on the mushy T43 kbd I formerly used). Someone (I think earlier on this list) explained that the keys on the new Thinkpads are so crummy in comparison because all the kbds on the famous old thinkpads were designed by typewriter engineers, not kids just out of some Chinese diploma mill like now. Hope this helps. jr On Wed, 24 Nov 2010 15:04:15 +1000, Peter Marquis-Kyle wrote: >On 24/11/2010 12:53 PM, Jeffrey Race wrote: >> T43 working fine but now I've started to use ext monitor >> and IBM Trackpoint keyboard, much better tactile sense >> (just like Selectric kbd for you old-timers) than T43's. > >Jeffrey, I can't help with your question, but your mention of the >keyboard piqued my interest.
